Good visibility is one of the most fundamental requirements on any
handling equipment and Hyster continues to refine all its products to
ensure the range offers class leading front, rear, side, up and down
visibility, particularly of the fork tips.

To optimize driver comfort on the new Hyster Fortis range, an isolated powertrain combined with the FLM 80 full suspension seat provides Whole Body Vibration (WBV) control. The Hyster Fortis ride quality is now more comfortable over demanding terrain.

Hyster has been able to significantly reduce noise levels on its High Capacity Forklift Truck range to help ports and terminals located close to residential areas. Hyster was able to achieve quieter trucks with the introduction of cooling on demand and other new technologies featured on the Tier4i / Stage IIIB compliant equipment.

All diesel powered equipment with power ratings of between 174 and 751
hp (130-560 kW) supplied in the EU and North America had to meet the
requirements of Tier 4i (interim) and Stage IIIB emissions regulations.
This means, for example, that Hyster® High Capacity Lift Trucks with lifting
capacities above 32,000 lbs, including container handlers and
reachstackers, had to be provided with new engines and emissions
management technologies.
